Today I made over 500++ day trades average size was 3000 to a few (My sale after scaling up) 40,000. Was ultra liquid, 400 million shares traded in volume. I exceeded a 1,000,000 shares of churning, who has the best price plus a chance to get ECN Rebates? I would like negative commission like IB does with my option trades. In the old days with MyTrack I paid $9 in commission minus $.005 x 30,000 shares making my commission -$125.00. ECN fees have dropped, do they pay $.0025 or $.002 now? It's been awhile since I played the Rebate game.
JesseJamesFinn1-Because we offer a Per Trade rate that starts at $4.50/Trade and with volume can get to as low as $2/Trade, max order size of 10,000 shares, and access to ECNs that offer rebates, I expect we can save you money and still provide fast order entry and fast executions. https://www.lightspeed.com/trading-platforms/lightspeed-trader/platform-features/, https://www.lightspeed.com/pricing/commission/, https://www.lightspeed.com/pricing/routing-fees/
I gave you that Link. The largest rebate we offer is $0.002/share-https://www.lightspeed.com/pricing/routing-fees/
You probably now IB's fees which slide down from .0035 to .0005 with a min of .35 cents. No max size per order as your order flow isn't being sold. Rebates will vary by venue with the largest I know of being BATS at .0025 per share when adding liquidity.

I'm curious how it works doing such large orders. If you put in a 10,000 share limit order, don't you get completely wrecked by adverse selection? People leaning on your order, etc. I thought supplying liquidity like that doesn't work in today's markets. Does the lightspeed per-trade rate only apply to single market/limit orders, or can you also do an algo order that splits it up into lots of parts and still pay for 1 order?
I'm not sure how to respond to your part one question about "adverse selection". If you mean the market impact of entering an order to buy/sell 10,000 shares, that will differ from symbol to symbol, time of day etc. With regard to other routes and order types, any order can be any of those for up to 10,000 shares and you pay $4.50 + routing + reg fees. E.G. Buy 10,000 TWAP. We do not charge based on the number of fills. We charge based on the order.
Penny stocks? Very few stocks trading 300 million shares a day. What kind of holding period do you have on this strategy?
